Hi,

I’ve been looking for a way to add a simple black borders to the images .. the simplest way seems to be to Select\All\Modify\Border and then Edit\Fill … but I’m getting borders with inner shadows (or bevels or whatever is it) and can’t find the way how to get rid of that… I want just plain black border x pixels wide..

I tried with canvas resizing and other ways, but everything is way too many clicks, and in case of manual selection inaccurate. I even bought Photoshop Elements2 book from P.Andrews (FocalPress), can’t find anything. If is has something to do with layer styles, then how I would default the fill command to be without that inner shadow? I can’t find out…

Just plain border like in PaintShopPro7 for instance …

Can anyone help?
thx
Dave

Set your foreground color to black. Then select/all. Then edit/stroke. Choose "inside" and set the pixel width. Works great for me. — Bill.
